Ouch. The New Orleans Saints will be short handed in Sunday’s rivalry game with the Carolina Panthers. Head coach Kellen Moore ruled out multiple players with injuries, including two starting offensive linemen: center Erik McCoy (bicep) and right tackle Taliese Fuaga (knee). Additionally, the team will be without rookie running back CJ Donaldson (shoulder) and second-round defensive lineman Christen Miller (knee).
The Saints got a little more than three quarters of football out of their starting five offensive linemen last week before McCoy exited with an injury. Then Fuaga suffered a knee sprain in practice. Fuaga isn’t expected to miss enough time to land on injured reserve, Moore said, but McCoy’s outlook is less certain.
A few other players are questionable for Sunday’s game with the Carolina Panthers. Running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) is the big name, but cornerback Martin Emerson Jr. is one to watch, too. We’ll find out for sure when the inactives list is published on Sunday.
